What grips did freestylers come with as standard?
Just wondering, my scan of an old brochure looks like it says, co union, its hard to read.
-
I'm no expert bro,and someone who actually knows what they are talking about will be along soon but I think you need to be more specific about which haro freestylers you mean as the specs changed from year to year.If you are talking about 85/86 masters and sports most of them i've seen seem to have a'me's on them(I think!)
-
I was just wondering in general what most came with. Mine is a '88 invert freestyler.
I will probs fit ame's or tange I think.

They may have changed 'em by then to Fusion or something like that.I would advise you to use a'me,have you ever ridden those Tange grips'they are 'orrible and give you blisters! :daumenhoch:

Yep, some of the later models came with Union Co grips, never actually seen any come up for sale though

They are Fuan grips. They came on 84 FST's and Sports. That is the FST Colorway. The sport colorway was black with grey sleeves.
